Trabalho docente: uma análise da produção do GT trabalho e educação da ANPED

Abstract

This Master's Thesis is tied to the research line School Practices and Public Politics of the Post Graduation's Degree Program in Education at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria UFSM. This study had its motivations in two interlinked area, the professional acting and the academic formation. The main theme of this research is the Educational Work. The objective that addressed the investigation consists of analyzing the academic production of the annual meetings of ANPED, more specifically, that of GT 09 Work and Education, from 1998 to 2008, about the understanding of the educational work, in basic education level, considering the reordering of the work, in order to check the praxical character of this production. The theoretical principal that provides support is the Historical and Dialectical Materialism, since it was considered an important theoretical tool, because it makes possible the understanding of the tension between capital and work, what is necessary for us to analyze the current context in a critical way. We took as reference the work (educational) as an ontological category. Such perspective allows understanding that it is based on it and considering its mediator capacity of the social relationships that the human beings build the necessary conditions of their existence, producing themselves in relation to other human beings. On the other hand, this conception allows us to understand the abstract work's alienated nature, being this one, under the perspective of the capitalism, understood as a synonym of workforce sale. For the accomplishment of the research, the precepts of the qualitative research were taken into account. The result of this analysis showed us that there is a polysemy at GT Work and Education concerning the understanding of educational work. The representativeness of these studies, in basic education level, at GT, is little expressive. Larger number of studies related to professional education was evidenced. The works of the empiric collection, in their great majority, rescue the content category - work - as a central issue in the accomplished analyses. We could verify that the works chosen for analysis are committed with a theoretical perspective based on historical and dialectical materialism, being observed important works in the area. However, we evidenced the little praxical dimension of the analyzed production.
